Any way to increase the network scanning attempts or reduce delay when phone comes out of no signal area ? For me sometimes it takes about 10 minutes , just to catch signal again. If I just toggle airplane mode...I get instant signal
[Vibrant Android Development] Who Am I?:
Everything seems to be working fine but I cant find my SIM contacts anywhere or Swype.

I dont have a SIM management option under contacts. I have Contacts to Display, New Contact or Settings. Nothing in settings about SIM

I also dont have swype. I have Android Keyboard, Google voice typing, Japanese and some japanese symbols.

Did I miss this somewhere in the downloads?
[Vibrant Android Development] samsgun357:
There is a post somewhere (sorry don't remember where) in forums to get swype. Also in contacts, press settings, should be option to import contacts from sim.

Edit: Try this

http://beta.swype.com/ and register/login.

What are you looking at shortbus......
[Vibrant Android Development] luvduchovny:
Someone else mentioned you just have to download the beta of swype. It works really well, better than the swype that was on the vibrant before.

As for Contact, you click People once you are there you click the menu button and select Import/Export from there you get the choices of: import from Sims, import from storage, export to storage or share visible contacts

from there you should be able to import your contacts from your sims card if it's there.

Hey guys, can anyone send me link to Nexus Drivers ? Because Odin won't recognize my phone either. Thanks.
[Vibrant Android Development] xriderx66:
If i'm not mistaken, you can just download the program "Samsung Mini Kies"

and it installs ALL drivers from samsung you'll ever need.
[Vibrant Android Development] hector8258:
Can someone help me out and tell me what I can do to get better battery life on this rom.
[Vibrant Android Development] djluis48:
You can get them from the ADK. Google USB Drivers or something like that.
[Vibrant Android Development] huysanhdieu:
headset can not control to answer phone or play next song. good jod.

thanks
[Vibrant Android Development] cyberpyr8:
I have the Rocketfish BT headset and I can do this. Are you using the widget?
[Vibrant Android Development] xxProphecyxx:
Well... after having to flash to stock, root, re-flash v4, try to reload data backup [md5 mismatch], went back to v3, tried to reload data backup [md5 mismatch], put v4 back on, flash the KB5 modem and now I have to do a TB restore. Then I think I will be back to normal.

What a pain in the arse!
[Vibrant Android Development] Tweak222:
Just experienced that same problem! And occasionally with other apps too.

T959|ICS Passion v4
[Vibrant Android Development] cmrn89:
stupid question, but I cant figure out how to group apps like in the screenshot, anyone know? or is it an app from the market?
[Vibrant Android Development] charkey:
press and hold an app and place it on top of another.
[Vibrant Android Development] xriderx66:
Tip: in browser if you want to quickly check your history bookmarks or saved pages... hold down the back key.

Will we see facebook integration in a future update?
[Vibrant Android Development] 9xnine:
Facebook

Facebook needs to update their app. This is an ICS issue, not an issue with this ROM.

---------- Post added at 11:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:27 PM ----------

Try clearing the app data for Gallery. I had a few force close issues with Gallery until I did this.
[Vibrant Android Development] boystuff:
bah it's not even an issue with ICS. Google gave Facebook an Ultimatum full export or No sync period.
[Vibrant Android Development] Ram1500:
Hi, so I just flash this rom and it looks amazing. My only problem is the front speaker is not workin, I can only here the person through the back speaker. Can anyone help? Amd ive already flash the kb5 thinking that might help didn't.
[Vibrant Android Development] mike21pr:
i did a full reinstall. wiped data and cache both before and after reflshing the rom as well as format system before flashing. lost a few apps due to it since it was installed on data but gallery hasnt forced closed yet.
[Vibrant Android Development] xxProphecyxx:
As stated in the begining...

Known Issues and Workaround:

Audio Routing Not Proper (Kernel Issue) Workaround: Place Headset Toggle Widget on Home Screen. Use it once on boot and whenever you plug in/out headphones.

No init.d scripts support (Kernel Issue) Workaround: None. Wait for proper kernel update.

You cannot reboot in recovery via extended boot menu (Kernel Issue) Workaround: Turn off your phone. Use 3-Button Combo method to get into recovery.

You just have to read the OP... hope this helps. :)

Sorry then the stock browser for anything before ics sucked balls so I never used it

True that only other browser that's comparable is jvt browser
[Vibrant Android Development] iTz KeeFy:
I absolutely love this ROM! The only trouble is my GPS not working, in fact I haven't had a working GPS on any ICS ROM but I don't really need it. An update for ICS Passion with a working GPS would be all I could ask for. Awesome job on this ROM, love it.

Running ICS Passion
[Vibrant Android Development] Panamon:
Go take a look at FaultException's CM9 thread. They got serious about the GPS problem and several brilliant minds pounded out a solution in short order.

GPS problem solved.

Their solution could someday work its way into this ROM, but...
[Vibrant Android Development] Kastro1784:
you have a link to this thread ? I don't see it anywhere on here
[Vibrant Android Development] Master_Ellis:
My wifi is trippy. Download speeds are slow but upload speeds are fast. T-Mobile USA Vibrant. Any suggestions on how to fix?
[Vibrant Android Development] iTz KeeFy:
Sounds like a problem with your ISP not the ROM, I never had issues with Wi-Fi when I ran passion.
[Vibrant Android Development] Shiv4m:
When is the new update coming?
[Vibrant Android Development] gwuhua1984:
Is there something wrong with the face unlock add on link?
[Vibrant Android Development] riskaa:
There is a new ROM out now called Chimera. Go to www.team-passion.com or find the facebook group at https://www.facebook.com/groups/icspassion/
[Vibrant Android Development] Shiv4m:
To whoever plan on installing it, give us some feedback on battery performance and such.
[Vibrant Android Development] iTz KeeFy:
Battery life is actually pretty good, 15 plus hours with moderate use. I would encourage you to read up on the encryption unsuccessful bug before installing. At least know the consequences before installing
[Vibrant Android Development] Kastro1784:
Yeah I've seen people talking about rom on there fb group page but its a month or two ago from what I understand its still in its beta stages
[Vibrant Android Development] Kastro1784:
I don't think there updating this one anymore said to say my friend :(
[Vibrant Android Development] Shiv4m:
This is what pisses everyone off. Such a great ROM is not being taken care of and instead a set of ICS ROMs are being pushed out, and for what reason. This great ROM was featured by so many blogs and no fixes have been pushed out. The group (who is developing ICS Passion) is so mis-managed that they won't even use this section for their releases. Do something about it please.
[Vibrant Android Development] paypalbid:
i think people are now focusing on Jelly Bean moving forward. The sad part is no Rom ever gets completed before a new one is around the corner.
[Vibrant Android Development] Dougfresh:
This ROM has been discontinued for ages! I believe there's better and more updated builds of 4.0.4 out there. Just keep in mind if you switch ROMS, flash a ICS kernel first and reboot into recovery, then blast away :cool:
[Vibrant Android Development] desaleter:
Hey guys I'm having a problem with ics on my phone the Auto-Rotation does not work even after flashing the ROM a second time yes I did the 3 C's. I have tried playing around the settings but its a no go.I'm also getting a lousy battery life of 10hr on little use but on stock froyo I received 24hr+, is it just my phone or am I doing something wrong I'm completely lost on how to fix these issues thanks!
[Vibrant Android Development] ssjwiggy:
I've long abandoned this rom since the developers don't care about their roms enough to update them. It's pathetic.
[Vibrant Android Development] AjieGFX:
Whoaaaaaa, the V13 update erase my phone! I just wiped dalvik! well, Its not my primary phone, but other than that this ICS is amazing.
[Vibrant Android Development] Screwhead24:
Yes this was an AWESOME ROM and gave users quite an experience with ICS without the need of buying a new phone. Don't think no one has the right to complain or talk s@#% about the developers abandoning this ROM because they put alot of time and effort in supporting this phone. To top it all off it's FREE! Beggars can't be choosy.. Once the Official Jellybean OTA reaches the Nexus S phones and gets ported with the bugs knocked out you won't even remember ICS. I'm running Jellybean on my Galaxy Nexus and have to say this is how an android phone is suppose to run. Still keeping my Vibrant though as a back up.
[Vibrant Android Development] vamp6x6x6x:
Hey, does this rom still work very good? I don't mind that they are not supporting it anymore, because from what I read it is way better then the old Touchwiz Android OS that we would otherwise be stuck with on this phone that Samsung forgot..
[Vibrant Android Development] AgentFour20:
If you want an ICS ROM get chimera . Best ICS ROM in my opinion . It's at www.team-psession.com .
[Vibrant Android Development] vamp6x6x6x:
Ok, I decided to flash to this rom and will prob after the next update flash to chimera, but for now I can't send small audio files like ringtomes to anyone via text and I wanna know why if someone could help me please.
[Vibrant Android Development] L1LK1LLERZ:
I think it didn't work with this Rom. This is outdated. You should really try Chimera v2.2
[Vibrant Android Development] L1LK1LLERZ:

[Vibrant Android Development] Kastro1784:
I just moved on from 13.1 to this build Chimera 2.2 bt team passions is much better battery life is great good for daily use
[Vibrant Android Development] paypalbid:
I was lazy about going to Chimera 2.2 but I'm glad I did it cause it was worth it. Few things I noticed that is better:

better battery life

enabled installation of Google Chrome

No more app crashes

Lots of customization for status bar I can make the customer battery percentage White instead of grey for better visual

Skip songs with volume button while screen off (similar feature in CM7 which i miss)

faster boot up time

smoother and faster

Of course 4.04 has hundreds of upgrades from Google compare to 4.03

For those are waiting for an update to this ROM don't wait anymore, just upgrade to Chimera 2.2 and you will not be disappointed. I'm glad I made the switch.
[Vibrant Android Development] kt0ce:
Do you guys notice screen flickering from Chimera? I never had this problem until this ROM. And my GPS kinda froze sometime with this ROM. Can someone confirm or it just me. THanks.
[Vibrant Android Development] paypalbid:
I have not noticed any flickering of the screen. I have used the GPS twice in the last 2 weeks and haven't noticed freeze. I assumed you did a full wipe before installing this Rom? May need to reinstall it unless other people can confirm the same issues you are experiencing.
[Vibrant Android Development] uhs74:
Chimera installation

Hello,

I have ICS Euphoria version RC1 Kernal ver:3.1.10_ics_kiss ewe_now_I_am_all_sticky #4

so in order to install chimera - i just need to do following steps?

copy zip file of chimera rom to phone memory.

1. Reboot in Recovery mode

2. wipe cache partition

3. wipe data/factory reset

4. goto mounts and stroge

5. format system

6.goto advance - wipe dalvik cache

7.goto install zip from sdcard

8.select chimer rom zip file

9. let it install and restart it
[Vibrant Android Development] paypalbid:
You can do those steps i suppose. I just dis factory reset and when installing chimera it took care of all the other steps such as wiping caches.
[Vibrant Android Development] uhs74:
thanks for reply. but how is build? is it same as ics or better. I just want to make sure that wife, GPS camera is working fine with that build
[Vibrant Android Development] paypalbid:
Build is fine ics 4.04 which is better than previous ics 4.03. Camera is good. Gps sucks just like any rom for vibrant. Gps will guarantee lock upon rebooting the phone.

You should do a back up via clockworkmod. If you don't like it you can do a wipe and restore the previous rom without any issues.
[Vibrant Android Development] uhs74:
Thanks for the info. Now i may not try or just for test , i may try.
[Vibrant Android Development] In3rDm0RetHeNu:
My friend is reporting internet connection errors such as when she uses the play store it says connection failed. Is chimera good for daily use like you guys are saying?

How to alphabetize download apps

Hello, I want to know how to alphabetize my download apps that I downloaded for my phone. I can't find a setting anywhere to do that. Can anyone tell me how please?
[Vibrant Android Development] samsgun357:
Well first of this thread is dead...BUMP

Go into app drawer and press menu button. It should give some options.

Because I am hard, you will not like me. But the more you hate me, the more you will learn.
[Vibrant Android Development] dr.mitesh1987:
loved this rom have been using it since it was in release 7 and hats off to the dev....
[Vibrant Android Development] idunnoV2:
Yay. This rom is wonderful to my phone. Really appreciate the awesome work man. One question tho, How do I change the signature that I leave when I post here. It says"sent from my sgh-t959"..I think I'm search noob lol
[Vibrant Android Development] samsgun357:
Well first let me say, passion was cool when it came out however it is very dated and no longer supported. I would recommend either finding a 4.0.4 based ICS ROM or making the leap to JB, its worth it. Second to change your signature go to the app settings, change signature to custom and write a new one in customize. This community can be very helpful for those in need as long as you search, read and search again....read again before asking questions etc. Just a heads up!
[Vibrant Android Development] GeEazy:
What happen? I've been waiting for JB Passion or hell a updated ICS Passion(4.0.4), did the devs die or something :eek:
[Vibrant Android Development] L1LK1LLERZ:
No, the dev just moved on to a different device.
[Vibrant Android Development] GeEazy:
well someone tell the dev to come back. :D
[Vibrant Android Development] copyname:
Or just change a ROM. ;) I had ICS Passion too, but I changed to HellyBean and it's better option in my opinion. :P
[Vibrant Android Development] Hobbesfed:
I want an updated version of this ROM too.. It was my favourite ROM back in the day... :'( NEOBUDDY COME BAAACK!!!!!!!!!!!!! WE NEED YOU! :crying: I really hope Neobuddy updates this ROM once more....Its just so awesome.

If you really want stuff from this dev go to their Facebook Page, he was asked to leave xda. I will leave it at that.

The ROM is awesome but i don't know why its a bit sluggish not as smooth as slim bean I came from slim bean it's much smoother hope it will be fixed in the next update but thanks to the Dev for this awesome ROM
[Vibrant Android Development] Woody:
In the beginning this ROM was the great because we essentially had a phone that was abandoned at 2.2 and this was 4.0.3. That in and of itself was a feat. The ROM went through multiple Beta and RC stages and has since stopped development (at least on XDA) when they moved to Chimera and beyond and their own site.

When Google updated to 4.0.4 they produced several code inhancements that are essential to how the ROM (ICS) works. This is when there was a blast of new ROMs that included this new 4.0.4 code. Slim is one of those ROMs. Slim Bean is not. So you would be going from a Jelly Bean ROM back to an outdated ICS ROM. Yes there are going to be drastic issues with lagginess, improper coding and overall general displacement of the 2 ROM styles, asthetics, memory management,...

I could go on and on but I won't. In not so many words, this ROM is essentially DEAD and hasn't been updated for months. If you are waiting on an update to Passion, I am sorry to say it probably isn't going to happen.
[Vibrant Android Development] krish0809:
I think you are not following team passion website a new ROM has been released called chimera 3.0 based on jelly Bean 4.1.2 better look into the website that's what neobuddy mentioned a couple of posts above that he is running on chimera 3.0
[Vibrant Android Development] Dougfresh:
Chimera sorta sucks! CNA was on point by niordano a couple weeks ago
[Vibrant Android Development] Woody:
Haha!!! No, I am not following the Team Passion site.

You asked when THIS ROM was going to be updated, not Chimera. And I can read just fine and saw what Neo posted. Alas, this is not Chimera, but rather Passion.
[Vibrant Android Development] hockeyrcks9901:
Just want some confirmation for flashing instructions as it's been a long time since I've flashed my Vibrant...I've been using a G3 for awhile now and I was on Bionix before that.

Currently I'm on stock Eclair from Odin.

If I have my steps correct, I need to get back on a custom ROM. I'm thinking I'll go back to Bionix since I'm very comfortable getting there. Then I'll need to flash Gingerbread bootloader. Once that's done it's time to flash the ROM from recovery.

Please let me know if I've screwed that up.

Thanks!
[Vibrant Android Development] Dougfresh:
DON'T FLASH THIS.....FLASH Cyanamod 7, then go to JB and skip ics
[Vibrant Android Development] xriderx66:
JB ROMS: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2060390 and http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1864779

are the best.

Don't bother with ICS Passion.
[Vibrant Android Development] hockeyrcks9901:
How about Chimera v3.0? Any good?

I'm not looking to run this phone myself. I'm quite happy with the S3. I'm getting rid of this phone and they asked me to get something a little better than Eclair on it. Are both Slim Bean and Helly Bean stable? Any major bugs?
[Vibrant Android Development] xriderx66:
Don't do Chimera.

I'd go with HellyBean. Slim is still in BETA stage, but Hellybean has everything sorted out, for stability choose between Hellybean/FE's actual CM10.1
[Vibrant Android Development] Dougfresh:
Hey!! Weird, I prefer Slim over HB but both rock arsh. I infiltrated team passions Facebook page and niordanos cna was pumping.... Maybe his 3.1 not 3.0 chimera is good, but I won't blast it . I guess Neobuddy not following the rules left a sour taste in the 959 OG's mouth
[Vibrant Android Development] xriderx66:
I'm actually on Slim right now, been on it for 2 days.

I just referred to HB because it has more features + not in BETA

I'm stuck in the boot loop and cannot get back to CMR... Help

Well, I have searched the forum and I am really stuck. I thought I knew what I am doing for I have been flashing my Vibrant quite regularly. I was running Trigger and decided to try ICS and went with the Passion Rom....

Everything seemed to be going just fine until I got into this endless colorful boot loop. I cannot get back to recovery. I just don't know what to do and I am stuck.

Any help would be appreciated. I have searched the forum but cannot seem to find any answers.

Thanking you in advance for any help...

Howard .... stuck in the mud...:confused:
[Vibrant Android Development] hsidorsky:
I found out that by holding down the Home key when in the loop that it would come out of the loop and boot. However, when I reboot I have to do this again every time. I also get a message that says the process Android.process.media is not working. This comes up quite frequently. I cannot get anything down from the Market. That also includes my Titanium Backup, etc.

I am neither here nor there... in nether nether land.... the phone function does seem to work... :)

Does anyone have any ideas about how I should proceed....

Thanking you in advance,

Howard
[Vibrant Android Development] samsgun357:
Well first find another ROM. No dis but this ROM is outdated (4.0.3) and not supported. If you like ICS find a 4.0.4 ICS ROM. Personally I would recommend a JB ROM, they are all good.

If you get in a boot loop again, pull battery/replace and boot to recovery, reflash the ROM without a wipe and you should be good.

*did you flash gapps if required?

did you flash GB bootloader?
[Vibrant Android Development] xriderx66:
you noob, just 2 posts above we were talking about how people should NOT flash this.

L2Read and maybe your phone may work.
[Vibrant Android Development] hsidorsky:
A personal thank you for your good advice....

Hi samsgun357

I want to personally thank you for putting me down a path that works. I was able to get the SKANG rom up and and running. I really like it.

I only wish someone would put words of advice on the download section of Passion tell people about the issues and traps such as the boot loop issue.

Again, I really appreciated you words of advice.....:good:

Howard

---------- Post added at 02:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:58 PM ----------

Hi xriderx66,

NEGATIVE comments do not help someone out of a situation. I was looking for help, not comments that I was a fool for trying this ROM. When I saw the comments about not using the rom, it was already too late.

Why don't you do something POSITIVE and add comments to where the download takes place warning people that they are a fool to try this ROM.

You were no help at all to me or to any other unfortunate fools who were seduced by the intro to this ROM...

Howard
[Vibrant Android Development] xriderx66:
So its MY problem that YOU cannot read?

If that post was a few pages back, i'd cut you slack, even I don't always read that back. but this time IT WAS 2 POSTS ABOVE YOURS. My "negative" comment will make you think before you flash another ROM to read what's happening, the bugs, the consequences.

Also, do you see anywhere on this page to add comments?

Don't expect to do nothing and have people solve your problems.

ON TOP OF THAT, Your soft brick issue is VERY common and there are probably 5k+ threads just on that. Instead of arguing with you, I'll teach you a magical feature that you probably thought never existed.

HERE Is the search feature, go to Vibrant section, use that with keywords like "soft brick" "rebooting" etc.

And to address your last part, go ahead go to the first thousand pages in this thread and check how many issues I've helped with.

I'm not willing to help you if you cannot help yourself.
